“Wrestle with tough problems on their own” is a strange argument for forcing everyone to learn in exactly the way authorities prescribe. We had the same panic about calculators, Google and the internet. Let kids use the tools, make mistakes, and learn how to judge the answers.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other city officials announced a sweeping new policy Wednesday imposing a one-year ban on student use of generative artificial intelligence in New York City public schools from 2-K through 8th grade, while limiting screen time for younger students and

@LatFilosof Reading philosophy gets much easier once you realise Karl Popper was right and everyone else is just proposing increasingly elaborate ways not to admit it.

Me reading philosopher A: ”yeah this makes total sense” Me reading philosopher B absolutely ripping A to shreds: ”wow I can’t believe A is such an idiot” Me reading A again: ”yeah this makes total sense”.
@ToKTeacher @DavidDeutschOxf @lfg_uk Sorry, your fun has failed peer review.
Compulsory schooling is an authoritarian institution disguised as education. It systematically destroys curiosity, replaces it with compliance, and then blames children for being unmotivated.
Name an education opinion that’ll have you like this…

@dela3499 What do you think of it so far?
@Sam_kuyp Non-alcoholic beer has had the same glow-up. A lot of them now taste close enough to the real thing.
It took 16 years to go from the first website to the iPhone.

The Fun Criterion isn’t about chasing pleasure or avoiding hard things. It’s about treating boredom, friction, or that “this feels dead” feeling as useful criticism. That doesn’t always mean you should quit. But it also doesn’t mean you should just grind harder and force yourself through it. It might mean something in the setup is off: the goal, the method, the framing, the environment, or some conflict you haven’t resolved yet. Fun, in the deeper sense, is what hard work feels like when your mind is creatively engaged rather than coerced.
@ToKTeacher @naval @FutureJurvetson David Deutsch on the philosophical mistake that still haunts science.
@ToKTeacher Similar with GDPR/privacy regulation. Zuckerberg later called for GDPR-style rules globally, but studies found the burden fell hardest on smaller firms, while Google/Facebook could absorb compliance costs and even gained relative market share. Regulation can easily become a moat

@ToKTeacher How do you balance the fun criterion with money? I want to follow intrinsic interests and less coercive work, but still earn enough to feel secure.How do you stop money becoming the main project?
@ToKTeacher How do you balance the fun criterion with the need to make money? I want to follow intrinsic interests and make work less coercive, but I also need to earn enough to live and feel secure How do you solve money problems without letting money become the main project of your life?
